Pcrfons of his Condition in that Country for many 
Months in the Year. 
Archibald Campbell of Inever liver, to whom this 
Man’s Father is Tenant, carried him to his own 
Houfe, and locked him up in a Chamber for 20 Days, 
and fupplied him himfelf with frefh Water, to no 
greater Quantity in a Day, than an ordinary Man 
would ufe for common Drink ; and at the fame time 
took particular Care, that it Ihould not be poflible for 
his Gueft to fupply himfelf with any other kind of 
Food without his Knowledge ; yet after that Space of 
Time, he found no Alteration in his Vigour or 
Vifage. '] 
He is now about 3 6 Years of Age, middle Stature, 
a fair and frefh Complexion, with a, healthy (though 
not feemingly robuft) frefh Complexion ; his Habit 
of Body is meagre, but in no remarkable Degree j his 
ordinary Employ is looking after Cattle, by which 
means he needs muft travel Four or Five Miles a Day 
in that mountainous Country. 
He ufes no Tobacco 5 yet feems to difeharge as much 
Saliva as others, who do not ufe Stimulus's to provoke 
that Evacuation. ■ K • 
If we may judge of his infenfible Perfpiration by 
the Softnefs and Frefhnefs of Skin, he is in that refpe£fc 
like other Men, and like them fweats with violent 
Exetcife 5 as to the grolfer Excrements, it did not 
occur to me to inquire about them, but I conclude 
he difeharges none 5 becaufe the Country People, 
who ftrongly fanfy him fupported by fupernatural 
Means, would not forget to objeft this to him, if he 
evacuated any Quantity of grofs Foeces , with which 
^Water is not charged.
